What’s the Health Care Operations exchange purpose under TEFCA?
The Health Care Operations exchange purpose includes administrative, financial, legal, and quality improvement functions of a covered entity (CE) essential to running its business and supporting treatment and payment activities. Under the Operations use case, qualified organizations can retrieve patient data to power the following workflows:
Underwriting

Quality assessment & improvement activities
